Also a Tech Prep Program
Marketing incorporates professional education courses to prepare individuals for career paths with retail or wholesale organizations, profit or non-profit organizations, governmental agencies, and academic institutions.
Collin’s Marketing program is designed to give a thorough background in aspects of marketing and to provide methods for improving skills for people already employed in marketing careers. Marketing students who have questions should visit with the Department Chair.
Through a transfer agreement, students may earn their associate of applied science (AAS) degree with a Marketing major or a specialization in Business Management from Collin and transfer to the University of North Texas (UNT), UT Brownsville, Texas A&M University-Commerce, or Tarleton State University and earn bachelor of applied arts and science (BAAS) and bachelor of applied technology (BAT) degrees.
Other area universities that accept this degree include the University of Texas at Arlington, Texas A&M University-Commerce, Texas Christian University, Dallas Baptist University, Amberton University, LeTourneau University, and Northwood University.
The AAS (Degree) Specialization in International Business is for people who wish to work in international environments. Skill development in the areas of both marketing and management among various cultures is emphasized. A certificate in International Business is also offered.
Students planning to transfer to a college or university should check with the Collin academic advisor prior to beginning this program to verify course transferability. Tech Prep students who took collegiate-level courses in marketing while in high school may elect to receive college credit by contacting the Global EDGE office. A petition for Tech Prep credit should be completed as soon as possible upon admission to Collin.
